Food stylist explains how the viewer is fooled by the burger commercials
 

Everybody already knew this but it's much more elaborate then I could imagine. It's good to know that most food advertising is based on misdirection and deception.

I am pretty sure that is a clip form a show that was on HBO when I was a kid and it has ALWAYS stayed with me. It also showed how milkshakes are glue. That is one of the shows that has had the biggest 'mental sticky' impacts on me.

this just in:

chicks wear make-up to look more beautiful.

i couldn't pick one youtube video out of the 1000s that reveal this deception.

Well worth watching ...

.

We had a chick come in to our home ec class in 7th grade that did this. She was "the" chick, did all the McDonalds commercials and what not, worked with Jordan (since he was big at the time and in all the McDonalds commercials).

It was pretty cool.

They're actually legally obligated to use real food for everything except ice cream commercials. Because the ice cream would melt in seconds under all the lights.

People always try to make anything look better...Well they can fool the eye but nor the taste-buds. If the actual food was bad the restaurants would go out of business. I concur this deception and will go for a burger later today :1orglaugh

I thought these methods were outlawed since this was created?

Also, does anyone else wonder why a perfectly intelligent adult keeps referring to a patty of beef as "he" instead of "it"? So weird when people do this!

The trouble with these ads is that when you get the actual burger it's a huge letdown. I occasionally order Mcdonalds when I'm desperate (only place open 24/7 nearby) and it pretty much always comes with the burger compressed, the bun slightly folded over, and visible traces of grease sitting in the box. Sometimes a lot of it. Yeecchhhh.... :Oh crap

I don't think it's outlawed.

lol, i didnt have any McD "food" ever since i turned 20yo ... 23yrs ago ... simply coz i had found out their jerky sauces caused me a mega heartburn ... WENDYs wud be my choice, but there is no wendys in germany :(

And they really look amazing!

love the bouquet of fries:winkwink:

good info :thumbsup

Don't tell anyone, but everything on TV is fake.

Seriously though, that clip has to be close to 20 years old. Wonder how much is just digital touch up now.

:mad::mad:

Here's the clip from Falling Down with Michael Douglas - where he expresses disappointment with his Whammy Burger... I agree!

The relevant part starts around 3:50 in this clip

Food stylists get paid bank

blah, thats old news, they don't even use REAL food anymore.

one girl in knew in LA, her roommate was an actor on a food commercial and said that the "chicken" was eating on set was fake and had to spit it out :1orglaugh

And Beyonce saves the thread...

thread killed with above avatar. :-(

I'm more surprised it's a real burger.

I next to never eat fast food, but when I do it's usually french fries from Mc D's. Evil tastes good.

Anyone really give thought on how to shoot an ice cream commercial in full sun under extra lights, with several takes no breaks allowed. So they use shortening or other heat stable material, just like they do no cook many of the foods shown in the commercials. It looks better just seared and then painted with some oil brushed on.

Been done since day 1, just like makeup on people on TV.

Yeah, what is that thing.

That was pretty interesting.

lol, agreed!

I thought it was a leather couch at first :(:(:(

:1orglaugh

How on earth can anyone working in Porn be surprised by this.We push fake tits, fake cum, fake orgasm, fake teen braces, (fake teen come to think of it!)...Fake, Fake, Fake.

I knew it :mad:!

I could give a fuck less how my burger "looks", as long as it tastes good.

Have you ever seen what your burger "looks" like after you chewed it up?

No thanks.
